The Tennessee Riverwalk is a 13-mile (21-km) riverside path which parallels the Tennessee River from the Chickamauga Dam to downtown Chattanooga, Tennessee. It is part of the Tennessee Riverpark System featuring the Tennessee Riverpark, Coolidge Park, Renaissance Park, Ross's Landing, the Walnut Street Bridge, the Blue Goose Hollow section and the old U.S. Pipe property.

The initial segment was opened in May 1989.{{cite web | title=Tennessee Riverwalk Helped Spur Revitalization in Chattanooga | website=American Trails | url=https://www.americantrails.org/resources/tennessee-riverwalk-helped-spur-revitalization-in-chattanooga#:~:text=Now%20into%20its%20second%20decade,20%2Dmile%20greenway%20through%20Chattanooga. | access-date=2022-07-29}}

The Riverwalk is a mix of paved pathways, boardwalks, and bridges along the river, through marshland, and over creeks. Restroom facilities and drinking fountains are conveniently spaced along the path.

Nine brightly colored quarter-inch-thick stainless steel silhouettes mark each milestone along the Riverwalk, including a bird watcher, bluegrass musician, bicyclists, a man in a wheelchair and another strolling, a jogging father and daughter, and a family group.[http://www.timesfreepress.com/absolutenm/templates/life.aspx?articleid=22702&zoneid=10 Metal silhouettes greet bikers, walkers along the Riverwalk] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071027174725/http://timesfreepress.com/absolutenm/templates/life.aspx?articleid=22702&zoneid=10 |date=2007-10-27 }}, Chattanooga Times Free Press, October 5, 2007
